Among the major reasons behind the creation of this club is to bring awareness to the public about the existence of this unique martial art, to address the problem regarding the existing misconceptions towards it. And most of all, to share the martial art to the people of Marawi city especially the students of MSU – main campus in order to help them defend themselves in times of emergency.
Watch the short teaser below.
Although, the physical aspect is seen to be the major highlight of this club, other facets like mental, emotional and social will also be nurtured as well since this martial art was born in muslim countries. The silat in Marawi is loaded with etiquette as taught by the late grand-master Dr. Dirondato Disomangcop (“Dr. Hamza”). He was among the active tablighs and was fond of including hadiths in his teaching of Silat. Even the philosophy of the group he created which reads as:
“Not to fight except in desperate situation.”
is actually based on a hadith of Muhammad, The Last Prophet (peace be upon him). “Anyone who does not fight even when provoked, shall be given a mansion in paradise.” |
